A good number to consider in the finale with Sohraab getting the nod ahead of Pearly Wey and Blue Tomato. A line can be put through the selection's latest run at Sandown as he never had any chance of getting involved in the finish after a slow start and he didn't have the clearest of passages either. He won well prior to that, looks progressive and is ideally suited to the demands of this track. Pearly Wey has never won from a mark as high as this but is capable of doing so and enters calculations as long as the ground stays on the fast side of good. Blue Tomato has been around the houses but won for the second time since joining Dandy Nicholls last month and remains feasibly treated on his best form. It would be no surprise to see him show up well again. Misaro is in good nick and Golden Dixie is weighted to win again soon whilst Northern Empire and Osiris Way also come onto the radar but Sohraab is taken to show them all a clean pair of heels.
